[izpack-users] os.arch

[Marc Eppelmann]

Hi Jo,

The content /etc/redhat-release is self-explanationed enough.
If this is really a 64-bit machine and RHEL is installed und running in 64-Bit 
mode, please can you send the console-output of :~>uname -a ?

Or do you (or anybody other from this mailinglist) know a commandline tools   
output that identifies sure a running 64 kernel resp. 64-bit libraries?

I will search on our athlon64 machine. 

What is about SunSolaris 64 Bit? Any Idea?

the output of uname -a on our UltraSparc is:

SunOS svrsunblade1k-1.localdomain.org 5.10 Generic sun4u sparc 
SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000

No trace of 64-bit ...
